[quote=Anonymous]This is a civil engineer issue. They will figure out why - which most likely has something to do with the addition messing up the natural hydrology of the site. There are ways to channel water flow away from the building or you could waterproof the problem areas. The former is usually the first choice. Proper waterproofing is always important as well as relieving hydrostatic pressure. Soil will always be moist, and moisture always migrates towards dry areas. You just have to make sure it doesn't have pressure contact with dry. Gravity is always a nice passive solution if possible.[/quote]
